This week was extremely easy in this class, with not many assignments due. I am extremely excited about the Entrepreneur Interview that I’m doing with Kara & Shelly from Raising Wild swimsuits! I have been a huge fan of theirs before they even got on Shark Tank and I’m so excited to see their answers and responses to my questions. They seem like such wonderful women and mothers of 4, I really don’t know how they balance it all! They also come from a really wonderful family and I am super envious of their large, and tight-knit family. I really hope that Tanner and I can teach our children to be close and be best friends.

I really enjoyed the Stanford video on the “Aspects of Building Trust”. I loved that we are told to trust people, because if we do then they will trust us in return. Trust is a hard concept to live by, because there are so many reasons to not trust our neighbors, but it’s something I’m working on. I also loved the analogy he describes as people either being a baker, or an eater. Trustworthy people are bakers, not eaters, and I think I need to work on being more of a baker!

            This week was really happy for me. Lots of wonderful blessings happened this week, I spent a lot of time with my husband, and we visited family in Arizona this weekend. I can’t believe it is already December! I’m thankful for this time of year to be able to reflect on our savior and focus on the most important things in life.             Something else that I also think is very important is being virtuous and having integrity. We were able to read “What’s A Business For?” by Charles Handy, and it was a terrific read filled with reasons why we need to have these qualities. We read how important it is to be honest in all of our doings, and especially to not participate in fraud or wickedness. This is especially important for our economy and country because in order to run any business successfully, we need to be honest.       ...

            This week was a great one for me. I had a lot of personal surprises and tender mercies that have happened this week that made it very special. It was also Thanksgiving this week, and so I had some of my in-laws come visit us in San Francisco. It’s been a great week with family and I’m feeling very thankful for the time with them, and for the blessings my husband and I have.             I enjoyed reading the article, “Attitude of Money” by Stephen W. Gibson. He started the article with describing an analogy about prescription glasses. He said, " If I put on these other glasses, I can not only still see you clearly, but it changes the way you look. Why? Because in these glasses there is a filter - it alters the way things appear. As I look through these glasses your faces appear dark... We all have filters in our minds which change the way we 'see' things."...

I can't believe week one of BYUI Online is already over. I have to say I'm a little disappointed in myself, because I didn't focus and study as much as I wanted to this week. Yes, I had to already drop 2 classes, but I'm also working full time, so I just need to find the balance for online schooling. I'm really interested in this Entrepreneur's class already, and I'm excited to share the things I learn with my husband. He's in his last year of dental school, and I think studying business, along with taking this class will help us both have a successful family business. I also hope to have my own business as well one day, so i'm just really excited to learn more about being successful, and how we start. I'm looking forward to starting fresh next week, and have the goal to have all of my assignments and tasks done by Friday evening. I'm also looking forward to the videos that we have to watch as part of our assignments, because they look really...
